I agree with you, however I would use the word "Bull Excreation"! But that is just me. It smells the same no matter how you say it!

>>>As I'm sure you all know, the Canadian border is like most borders of the world when it comes to exit and entry (to another country). When driving to the U.S. you drive right through the checkpoint of the country of exit (Canada) and are inspected at the country of entry (United States), by agents of that country (of entry). Our border can only be porous in OUR direction form our responsibilities there.
